STRESS MANAGEMENT

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a
glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends
on
how long you try to hold it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem, if I hold it for an
hour. I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day,
you'll have to call an ambulance.  In each case, it's the same weight,
but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we
carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of
water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it
again. When we're refreshed, we carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it home You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens
you're
carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."

"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy
it!"

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
them.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good, in case you die in
the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by the
maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, It was
probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.

* Never buy a car you can't push.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you
won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world
to one person. (YOU ARE TO ME)

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty
and
some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but
they all have to live in the same box.

* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a
detour....I do!

Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you
today...... I did.
